THANK YOU!

My name is Kamal Elsadiq.For the past ten years, I have been coordinating our team of professionals in Amsterdam as Editor-in-Chief of Radio Dabanga. Since I was very young, I knew I wanted to be a journalist.I helped to start up Radio Dabanga because I want to make sure that independent, reliable news is reported from all corners of Sudan.

Now, my colleagues and I would like to ask you for your support.

Radio
Dabanga
is
the only independent radio station from and for the people of Sudan,
reaching over 2,000,000
listeners a day, providing them with lifesaving information and
news.

We report on the situation in Sudan from the heart of Amsterdam, where
we can put into action our belief that people in Sudan have the
right to access independent information.
To be able to continue our important work, we need your help!

One
day of lifesaving radio = €290
($340).
These are the technical costs of broadcasting one hour of shortwave
radio per day. By
donating two minutes, ten minutes, one hour, to even a few days of
airtime, you will allow us to continue to deliver lifesaving
information.
Together we will keep Radio Dabanga on air!

On
behalf of the Radio Dabanga team and our listeners in Sudan,
THANK
YOU!

Radio
Dabanga’s impact in Sudan

When
an outbreak of cholera swept through Sudan between August 2016 and
mid-2017, the Sudanese government spread misinformation about the
severity of the outbreak. With the help of medical sources at rural
hospitals, Dabanga reported on the cholera outbreak and informed
people through its shortwave radio broadcasts and social media about
ways to prevent infection. This
is one of many examples of the importance of Radio Dabanga over the
past 10 years for
our 2.3 million daily listeners in Sudan. Radio Dabanga gives the
Sudanese public a voice and that allows them to be heard. In this
way, Dabanga promotes peace in the country.

Why
is my help so important?

In
2017, the international political situation has caused a winding down
of the usual funding that Radio Dabanga bases its operations on. The
international community started to see the Sudanese government
increasingly as a friend in their
fight against terrorism and the refugee crisis, and fail to recognize the violations against its own people.
This creates an even greater need for the journalists of Radio
Dabanga to report the news that the world has ceased to be aware of.

The targeted amount in this campaign will provide the team with at least 155 days of radio broadcasts. This will set Radio Dabanga well on its way to its 10th
anniversary - an
anniversary on which we still strive to broadcast shortwave
radio. Let’s sponsor the independent work of these Sudanese radio
champions
with as many broadcast days as possible!

For
the duration of this campaign – and afterwards – we welcome any
questions you might have about Radio Dabanga.
You can also have a look at the
Frequently Asked Questions! We will continuously update this page and our website with stories, facts and videos
about the lives and work of Ibrahim Jadelkarim and his colleagues at
Radio Dabanga
.
So
stay
tuned!

The moment is here: our Radio Dabanga crowdfunding has come to an end...It has been a crazy month filled with excitement, joy and most of all appreciation.Appreciation for all of you who have supported, shared, liked and spread the word and the love about Radio Dabanga. We really can't thank you enough!

The campaign might be done on this platform but you can always stay in touch if you miss us! :)Visit our website or check our Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on everything Dabanga.For now we will be busy with preparing our thank you video and cards for those who donated!

Last week we received a very generous donation by Hamid Eltgani Ali who supported us with $1000 (€860)! Of course we are equally thankful and happy for every amount but we wanted to share this mainly because of the beautiful words that accompanied the donation:

Thank you Hamid and everyone else who sponsored our life-saving radio! It really warms our heart that so many people want to #Keepitonair and #SupportDabanga!

We have almost 30 days of broadcasting thanks to everyone whodonatedto our campaign. This just shows that great things can happen when lots of people come together, but we still need to shout about Radio Dabanga from the rooftops!

Today we wrote the first Thank You cards to everyone who supported our campaign so far. So if you did you can be expecting those in the mail very soon!

That these colorful cartoons are made by Radio Dabanga's very own cartoonist?

His cartoons that satirize Sudanese news events are loved by Sudanese people who follow Radio Dabanga on Facebook. Due to security reasons in Sudan, his identity has to remain anonymous.

Radio Dabanga is based in the Netherlands, which is a big contrast to Sudan regarding freedom of speech. One could not imagine printing and distributing such critical cartoons in Sudan. To highlight this contrast, we are sending out these Radio Dabanga cartoons to our supporters.

Thanks to DRUKBEDRIJF.NL, we are able to print these cartoons for you - for FREE!!

So maybe you were wandering the streets of Amsterdam this weekend and happened upon an article about Radio Dabanga in Het Parool. What? You didn't? Well, here it is...

Despite a minor dip in crowdfunding this week, we have been very busy with other stories for you to get your teeth into! That is why we have asked two very important people at Radio Dabanga to let you know why their work is vital. You can read the stories ofIbrahim and Kamal here.

But wait, there's more! Klaas van Dijken will be coming in this week for our second ON AIR podcast. For a sneak peek into some of what we'll be talking about, read his storyabout some of the three million people who have been displaced by counter-insurgency in Sudan.

Up until now, we have a massive 23 days of broadcasting time. We are so very grateful for your donations and support, but we need to carry on the buzz we've started this weekend!!!

Professor and Sudan researcher Eric Reeves was the first one to visit our studios in Amsterdam, to kick of the series. As press freedom is under attack in Sudan, for him Radio Dabanga is a very important source of information.

Seventeen days of radio broadcasting. That's the amount of airtime we have raised with you in week one of the crowdfunding campaign! A total of €5,105.05. Thanks to your donations and sharing our campaign with friends and family.

Thank you so much!!!

That also means there's much more shortwave airtime to be won before our campaign ends on June 30th. Airtime that is important for the journalists of Radio Dabanga, and even more for the listeners in Sudan. Why?

This story will help understand how our shortwave broadcasts informed people in Sudan about the cholera outbreak. We hope it will help you tell others about the importance of Radio Dabanga in Sudan - and why we should keep it on air!

If you're a quiz fanatic, challenge your friends in the quiz here and find out if you know enough about Sudan to win a
special Radio Dabanga postcard. Don't forget to share your quiz result online: mention #supportDabanga and @RadioDabanga on Twitter, or Radio Dabanga Sudan on Facebook.

That will help spread our campaign to all corners of the digital world. Radio Dabanga needs all the support it can get!

We are blown over by your generosity! Over 10% of our campaign has been crowdfunded already, meaning that we have over 17 days of broadcasting. Thank you for supporting us and becoming a friend of Dabanga.

To start the day, please check out one of our favorite programs, Lost & Found.

Donate a full hour of airtime to Radio Dabanga and your name will be mentioned on the Hall of Fame on www.dabangasudan.org (in production)

In the past before the wars I have been traveling throughout Sudan, incl. the Darfur regio and the Djebel Mara. The ecxellent radio-reports on the genocide wich took place were shocking, but i was grateful that some (notably female ) reporter had the courage to investigate the situation.
Now it’s time to return the gracious hospitality i experienced and support this fantastic project.

Hey everyone!The moment is here: our Radio Dabanga crowdfunding has come to an end...It has been a crazy month filled with excitement, joy and most of all appreciation.Appreciation for all of you who have supported, shared, liked and spread the word …
